Perimeter: Legate Edition

About

Perimeter: Legate Edition is a real-time strategy game where terrain is as crucial as tactics. Players build bases, gather resources, and repel enemies in a world where landscapes crumble and shift under attack. You control Legates, commanders of powerful frames, balancing base management with combat as the story spans centuries of conflict. Factions like the Return coalition and Spongean Empire offer distinct playstyles and goals, each with their own take on the war between ideologies. The game stands out for its dynamic environments and layered narrative. Choosing between factions means embracing different philosophies and strategies, with decisions impacting how you approach both base defense and large-scale battles. With single-player campaigns and multiplayer modes, it leans into classic RTS foundations while adding unique twists like terrain-based strategy. Released on PC and Linux in May 2024, it’s a pick for players who enjoy balancing resource management with adaptive combat.

Storyline

Taking place in the Chains of Worlds, players assume the role of Legates, commanders of frames, overseeing base development and leading strategic battles. As the narrative unfolds, players embody different Legates from various factions, providing multiple perspectives on unfolding events. Centuries after the Exodus, new coalitions emerge, challenging the ideals of the spirits. The Return coalition, led by the Committee of Truth, seeks to return to Earth from the root worlds, rejecting the spirits' dogma. Similarly, the Spongean Empire advocates for enhanced humans conquering the Psychosphere rather than marching towards promised utopias.
